If you are on Win2K, then you can go to admin tools / Computer Management - and take a look in the tree, it should tell you there. There is also a folder for IRQs, which will tell you what IRQ each component is set to.   If not on Win2K then you can look at your IRQ settings within your BIOS set-up, usually within PNP Configuration I think - but don't hold me to that :P   What is the set up you are having problems with Ep?   Mark    -----Original Message-----From: root@fatcity.com [mailto:root@fatcity.com]On Behalf Of Kevin KostyszynSent: Monday, August 27, 2001 17:51To: Multiple recipients of list ORACLE-LSubject: RE: system trivia (groove/programming): DOS prompt/etc and choppy We use a Plextor at my office and I run Veritas Backup Exec, surf the internet or any other programs and have never had a problem.  Very impressive burner.  Now my one at home is being a big pain in the arse because it doesn't want to operate at it's maximum transfer speed.  very troubling... -----Original Message-----From: root@fatcity.com [mailto:root@fatcity.com]On Behalf Of Kimberly SmithSent: Monday, August 27, 2001 12:06 PMTo: Multiple recipients of list ORACLE-LSubject: RE: system trivia (groove/programming): DOS prompt/etc and choppy I don't think its memory related at all.  I have more then enough for what I do and it does the same thing.  That being said, before I cut a music CD it even tells me not to launch any other applications as it is a "sensitive operation".  I have been snared where I was making a mp3 and I launched an application and now there is a dead spot in the song. -----Original Message-----From: Koivu, Lisa [mailto:lisa.koivu@efairfield.com]Sent: Monday, August 27, 2001 7:11 AMTo: Multiple recipients of list ORACLE-LSubject: OT: system trivia (groove/programming): DOS prompt/etc and choppy Really?  I thought it was only because my personal pc has so little memory.   I run into that behavior with explorer and playing mp3's at the same time.  This also becomes a problem when burning a cd or changing formats, and even though I leave it alone, sometimes it ends up a bit garbled. How much memory do you have, EP?  If I remember right you are the gamer and bought the big huge system for the pc games? -----Original Message----- From:   Jared Still [SMTP:jkstill@cybcon.com] Sent:   Saturday, August 25, 2001 6:51 PM To:     Multiple recipients of list ORACLE-L Subject:        Re: system trivia (groove/programming): DOS prompt/etc and choppy sound Here's a stab in the dark: Windows still doesn't know how to gracefully handle software interrupts?
